They also note the need to budget for ongoing maintenance and replacement costs.</p><p>✉️ Contact: <a href="mailto:jim@podiatrygrowth.com">jim@podiatrygrowth.com</a></p>

<p>📊 Free for Practice Owners: Get custom insights showing exactly how patients find you online (or why they're not) → <a href="https://podiatry.marketing/report">https://podiatry.marketing/report</a></p><br><p>In this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Jim McDannald, DPM, and Tyson Franklin discuss how podiatrists often confuse external and internal marketing, reducing the value of their spend. They argue external marketing should lead with patient problems (like heel pain) to grab attention within seconds, while internal marketing should educate patients on available solutions (such as shockwave or laser therapy) once they’re in the clinic, building trust and improving treatment acceptance. </p><p>Tyson shares a real example where advertising shockwave therapy caused a drop in results compared to problem-focused heel pain ads, and they note treatment pages and blogs still belong on the website for those researching modalities. Practical takeaways include reviewing homepage and ads for problem-first language, training staff to explain options, and using in-clinic materials and newsletters to highlight treatments.</p><p>✉️ Contact: <a href="mailto:jim@podiatrygrowth.com">jim@podiatrygrowth.com</a></p>

<p>📊 Free for Practice Owners: Get custom insights showing exactly how patients find you online (or why they're not) → <a href="https://podiatry.marketing/report">https://podiatry.marketing/report</a></p><br><p>In this episode of Podiatry Marketing, Jim McDannald, DPM, and Tyson Franklin discuss whether podiatrists—especially new graduates and practice owners—should handle marketing themselves or hire help. They emphasize starting with numbers: average value per patient visit, current monthly revenue, and schedule capacity to determine an appropriate marketing budget (often a small percentage of gross revenue, higher in growth phases) and to evaluate ROI in terms of patients needed to break even. </p><p>They advise being honest about skills and interests, DIYing low-risk tasks like posts and reviews while avoiding high-risk technical work such as advanced SEO, ad strategy, website migrations, schema, and Google Business Profile recovery. If outsourcing, they recommend choosing providers who understand podiatry and avoiding generic “we do everything” offers. Success should be measured by new patients and cost per new patient, not vanity metrics.</p><p>✉️ Contact: <a href="mailto:jim@podiatrygrowth.com">jim@podiatrygrowth.com</a></p>
